Opis

This study is concerned with a pragmatic study of impoliteness in political conflicts on terrorism. This work has set itself to tackle this issue in situations taken from the American presidential and vice-presidential debates. This topic is particularly selected for study because it has not been given its due attention in previous studies in the Iraqi academic circle. The integration of both first and second order conceptions of impoliteness is useful in the analysis of political communication, especially political conflicts. Relational work mechanism which comprises the entire spectrum of the interpersonal aspect of social practice displays a better understanding of how impoliteness is processed in political conflicts on terrorism. Politicians' reactions to and judgements of each other support the pragmatic analysis of impoliteness in such conflicts.
